I thought this thread was gonna die before the second page but hey, as a bandwagoner, I can't help myself...

To answer OP's initial question... Obviously, no-one knows but, at the rate you are going, you might be able to answer that question for everybody... simply disregard the fact that the police are just looking for these type of cars so that they can justify their very existence within "the force" on a daily basis. Continue to drive your car as it sits then come back and tell us all what happens "if you get red stickered more than three times"..

I reckon the only reason no-one knows the answer is because, by the time they get their SECOND sticker... they have learnt their lesson and rectify the car so it complies with road rules.

Good luck out there!

So having a car that is "jdm spec" makes u a hoon? You cant be serious? STFU and GTFO while ur at it.

You seem excessively angry. Chill...

And yes, this car is what our today|today society brand's as a "hoon's car".

If the shoe fits....

Nah I just dont like keyboard warriors who act all high and mighty and start prancing around like their wannabe hwp. Its fair enough to have an oppinion but to just be a smart ass is annoying, especially when as the title of the thread states, all he wants is to know what penalties/dramas/etc occur if he was to get a third red sticker. And if aca has u believing that well it goes to show how strong an influence that fictional program has if it makes an car enthuasiast believe he/she must be a hoon due to the way their car has been aesthetically modified. Correct me if im wrong but I was under the impression 'hoon' was a label used to describe irresponsible and dangerous manners of driving a vehicle on public roads??

Best post on this thread

this thread makes me laugh.

Its funny that the more long term members here, dare I say, slightly more mature too (not saying op isnt or is etc) but majorty of us never have an issue with the law, police, whinge etc how bad it is. why is that? perhaps respect?

and if we have? we have learnt our lesson then and there.

oh, and feel free to have a go at me for replying here - Im just stating what I see. Feel free to label me a hater and tell me STFU too. Just saying how I see it in here.

As Marssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss said - totally agree.

... i agree with chris (evil_weevil) ... :) ...

... i am amazed every time this comes up ... defects arent handed out to people just to piss them off & give them an excuse to say "see the police are out to get me" ... no you morons ... you are giving the defect to yourselves ... all the police are doing is pointing out that youve defected your own car by doing whatever it is to defect it ... every country has "standards" for design & safety & engineering ... if you get a defect it because you deserve it ... its pretty simple to work out that if you dont mod your car up in a way that contradicts the "standards" you wont get a defect ... or i like to say this ... "if you dont want a defect placed on your car DONT place a decfect on your car" ... part of the conditions of your drivers licence & your registration being issued to you is that you comply with what is required "by law" around modding your car in an unconventioinal way ... if you get a moment check out my car in the garage ... its had every component modded in some way but its never had a defect because everything done to it is "legal" ... cheers malcolm :)

Cheers malcom..

Dunno if you read above I no why I'm getting defected the question was what happens if you get done 3 times?? If you don't no thats ok but I've read multiple posts that tell me why I'm getting done and there stories of "if they were a cop" all I wanted was to see if anyone knew what happens not the 20 others stories thanks

... i guess my question & answer to all of this is ... forget what happens when you get defected for a third time ... concentrate very hard on not ever getting defected a first time ! ... :) ...

Thought I'd do the good Samaritan:

I called up the RTA and had a chat to them out of curiosity about this; the person I spoke to had a big pause and asked me why, but anyway, the gist they gave me was that the process is still the same. They didn't think there were other penalties involved, but that the police might not look too favourably upon seeing the car in a defectable state after 3 red stickers.

HTH

Thankyou mate, I should of maybe rang up and asked before I posted this thread and started alot of bicaring

HTH

Hmm, also, remember to take everything you hear from the RTA with a grain (or a large shaker) of salt - you might ring there three times and ask the same question and get three different answers. If you do speak to someone, ask for their name and write it down, as well as the time you spoke to them and what you were told.

I'm pretty sure the question's been answered, and if not, then the best bet is to call them yourself (but don't forget what I just mentioned).

Alright, to save any further issues, this thread is now closed.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
